Yann LeCun warns AI tech is marching into dead end
- jqpabc123 9mo agoIn the words of Richard Stallman, it's "pretend intelligence". The language may be structurally correct and *some* of the facts as well but any real grasp of what is being said is largely missing. This is a direct result of a design built around probability. The overriding objective is plausibility --- not to be confused with either facts or intelligence.
- jezze 9mo agoI agree as a whole but aren't all thoughts some sort of guesswork? Facts just have a higher probability?
- jqpabc123 9mo agoFacts just have a higher probability? You and I understand this but an LLM doesn't. An LLM doesn't understand the difference between fact and fiction. It just uses probability to choose the next word. Hopefully, there are a more facts in it's database that can serve as a guide. But if not, it will just as readily use fiction to produce something that sounds plausible. Anything an LLM produces simply cannot be trusted and is a poor example of "intelligence".
